EDWARD UNGER, of No. % Ridge
street, New York, has confessed to the
murder of August Bohle, whose mutt
lated remains were discovered in an un-
called-for trunk in an express Office in
Baltimore. Before the confession the
circumstances were almost conclusive of
fingers guilt, but as he had cut off the
head of his victim and kept it out of the
trunk, it was doubtful if his butchered
body could be identified, All this is
cleared up by Unger, who says that the
head was deposited in the East River
from the deck of a ferry-boat. This
last trunk murder" exceeds in its hor-
rible features any of its predecessors.

adverting to the benefits or supposed
sESKFITs OF RAILROAD SUPERVISION.
That great good win come from il, If ii be
done wisely and carefully, with due re-
gard to the right and interest of all con-
cerned, / do not doubt. But the benefits
will not come up 70 the wishes of those
who think that all human Inconvenience
can be removed by legislation. Wise reg
ulations will be evaded and perverted from
their true ends, and 1t will take time to
correct this. Besides,
RAILROADS ARE BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.
They are built not for mere grandeur, or
pleasure, or out of any special desire to
advance the public welfare. They are
built as we make farms and embark in
other business-for the profit to come to
the investors. They cost a great deal of
money IN their building. 1t takes, also, a
great deal OF money to operate them and
keep them in repair. No demands should
be made on them which would prevent the
further investment OF capital in building
new lines in our State, nor which would
prevent a fair and reasonable return on
the investments already made.
SUPERVISION SHOULD BE DIRECTED,
not to the destruction of such enterprises,
for they are highly useful and promotive
OF the public good, but to their fair and
equal regulation so that there will be nc
unjust discrimination against shippers, and
no excessive or unreasonable charges on
the public. Railroads are public instru.
| mentalities as well as private property
In their first character they should be held
| to a just and reasonable service to the peo-
pie, and in their second, they should MOI
be so hampered or crippled as to destroy
the capital invested in them. A man hav

The Canada Fisheries.

The issue between the United States
and the Canadian Government in regard
to the rights of American fishermen in
Canadian ports and waters is involved
in long history of disputes and
wrangles interspersed with treaties
which have themselves been the cause
of much controversy.
The present contention of Canada is
that the treaty of 1918 gives to Ameri-
can fishing vessels the privilege of en-
tering Canadian ports for shelter, re-
pairs wood and water, and for no other
purpose whatever. This Interpretation
of the treaty forbids American fishermen
to enter such ports for the purpose of
trading, buying bait, or transshipping
their cargoes when they have filled
up"
Looking at the treaty of 1918 alone,
it is difficult to frame an argument lead
ing to conclusion different from that of
the Canadians, but the United States, &C
cording to Secretary Manning, contend
that since 1918 there has been concerted
legislation at London and Washington,
and a general custom based on good
neighborhood and international comfy
which should give to an American deep
sea fisher the liberty and privilege of
using Canadian ports as Canadians use
American ports.
Canada on the one hand wishes to use
the natural advantages possessed by her
to secure reciprocity treaty which
shall open the inshore fishing of both
countries to the citizens of both, and
shall authorize .'free trade" in fish,
while the owners of the New England
fishing fleet want the right to use the
Canadian ports as freely as they do
those of the United States without Civ
ing to the Canadian fishermen any re-
ciprocal privilege; for it is of no advan-
tage to them to be allowed to trade in
American ports unless they can sell their
fish.
